Strategic Recovery: International Holding Branch
This 12-month recovery roadmap analyzed a local branch of an international holding facing a 20% EBT decline. The crisis was driven by margin compression in key commercial segments and an 11.9% currency devaluation affecting high-end product returns.
To address this, I engineered a custom Excel VBA multi-entity consolidation system featuring automated Overhead Allocation Logic for IT, HR, and Accounting. By applying Q1-Q2 Variance Analysis, the model simulated a path to recovery through admin payroll optimizations, restructured sales commission logic, and cost stabilization via WACC modeling.
The resulting forecast secured a 2.1 leverage ratio and protected a MMCLP 2,400 stakeholder dividend for the fiscal year, successfully navigating global volatility with technical precision.

Building the Canadian Tariff Defence Hub in Under 7 Days: Claude MCP & Gemini Workflow
Overview
When Canada’s new counter-tariff schedules landed, Canadian business owners needed immediate clarity on line-item exposure and relief options. To respond at speed, our team built and launched the Canadian Enterprise Tariff Defence Hub end-to-end in less than a week.
The Challenge
We needed to translate complex trade policy, tariff schedules, and government relief programs into custom, plain-English business audits. The objective was to build a full web platform and an automated backend artifact generator without spending weeks on manual CMS administration or document formatting.
How We Built It
Claude MCP to WordPress Integration: We used Claude connected via Model Context Protocol (MCP) directly to our WordPress environment. This allowed us to generate, format, structure, and deploy complex pages, custom intake funnel steps, and technical copy without touching the native UI or performing manual page layout work.
Gemini & NotebookLM Package Pipeline: To power the audit deliverables, we engineered a pipeline using Gemini models to process business inputs, invoices, and supplier catalogues. This architecture automatically generates full multi-format client packages—including impact reports, slide decks, one-page visual infographics, and synthesized audio overviews for business owners on the go.
Rapid Intake Architecture: Integrated automated payment tiers (including local Nanaimo discounts and flexible options) tied directly into our 48-hour delivery workflow.
The Result
A fully operational, production-grade service platform built from concept to live deployment in under 7 days, capable of ingesting raw client trade data and outputting comprehensive, multi-media analysis packages instantly.

What should a platform for tokenized private equity look like?
Probably not like another traditional bank.
For ICME, the client wanted a visual direction that felt modern, disruptive, and native to a new kind of financial market.
The challenge was finding the balance: make the experience bold enough to feel different, while keeping a complex product understandable and credible.
I developed a digital-brutalist direction with retrofuturist touches - oversized typography, hard contrast, pixel textures, raw layouts, blue gradients, and controlled motion.
I worked with Arash Attar and the ICME team across the landing page and parts of the wider product interface. This video focuses specifically on the landing-page experience.
The goal was to:
— Explain tokenized private-company equity more clearly
— Create a memorable visual identity for the product
— Speak to both investors and founders
— Make financial technology feel ambitious rather than conventional
Would this visual direction make you want to explore the product - or should financial platforms feel more restrained?
This is amazing, man.
Good job!
